## Improved boxes

With shinydashboardPlus, you can add labels and dropdown menus to your boxes. You just have to use `boxPlus()` instead of `box()` from shinydashboard.

There are also other boxes such as `gradientBox()`, `socialBox()` as well as `widgetUserBox()`, to help you making outstanding shiny apps.

### boxPlus

    library(shiny)
    library(shinydashboard)
    library(shinydashboardPlus)

     shinyApp(
       ui = dashboardPagePlus(
         dashboardHeaderPlus(),
         dashboardSidebar(),
         dashboardBody(
          fluidRow(
           boxPlus(
            title = "Closable Box",
             closable = TRUE,
             status = "warning",
             solidHeader = FALSE,
             collapsible = TRUE,
             p("Box Content")
           ),
           boxPlus(
            title = "Closable box, with label",
             closable = TRUE,
             enable_label = TRUE,
             label_text = 1,
             label_status = "danger",
             status = "warning",
             solidHeader = FALSE,
             collapsible = TRUE,
             p("Box Content")
           )
